Interesting result in the 'productivity - leadership support' section that only 30% of people thought that change was well managed (by far the most negative response in that section). So there does seem to be some cognitive dissonance where change is flagged as a major issue, but the response to the survey is to request actions that will likely result in more of the same kinds of change.

Maybe it would be better if PSC could take control over change processes, instead of that other stuff?

I did note in the Public Service Census comments report that two comments were awarded higher status than others by being put into boxes bordered by dashed lines and being given a much larger font size. These were along the lines of "Make it easier to fire people" and "Move away from transparent progression systems back to performance pay".
